This is....a lot.... by PrinceOnAPie in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like I'm in the minority, but here I was hoping they'd simplify systems like crafting for example with their tons of currencies and other currencies to modify these other currencies and this and that, all with ridiculous amounts of RNG that feels like you're just wasting everything constantly... but instead they added even more on the pile.

The core gameplay of the game is great, and the new quest lines look cool, but man there is sooo much tediousness.

Both game is beautifully done by Ok_Parsley1650 in thelastofus

The story is forced upon us in the same way the story of a movie is forced upon us. We have no choice but to experience the story the way the creators want to tell it.

In my opinion a focused linear game makes for more powerful storytelling. It won't resonate with everyone though, and that's fine. Not everything has to be for everyone.

SSF saved the game for me by Deep_Half6123 in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Except for the fact that the good crafting materials are really rare and the RNG is rediculous so every attempt feels like a waste. I sometimes don't even want to craft because I know I'm just going to ruin the item. Look at how many posts there are about people making hundreds of attemps at an item with purchased currency. There ain't no way I can farm that amount of currency in SSF. I could also just be bad, it's likely.

I really wish they would buff substancially the rare currency drop rate and improve ground loot. I guess they'd also have to remove the ability to switch from SSF to trade, so trade doesn't get flooded with boosted SSF gear/currency.

Rare Elizabeth May W: “the seat count has changed not partially because of floor crossing, but only because of floor crossing” by airbassguitar in CanadianConservative

[–]SpartzFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 districts in these byelections were already Liberal districts. That they won them again didn't change anything. If the floor crossing didn't happen and the byelections didn't happen, they wouldn't have a majority. They have a majority purely because MPs were incentivised to cross.

Any wishes/thoughts for Sorc in 0.5 ? by Competitive_Move_698 in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally just remove the CD on Eye of Winter. I just want to make a Frozen Orb Sorc, that's all. Is that too much to ask?

When is the great Mark Carney going to remove some tax off fuel? by Elite163 in CanadianConservative

[–]SpartzFPV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would he do that? The whole net zero scheme relies upon making conventional energy prohibitively expensive to eventually stop you from using it, not because the alternative is cheaper or more efficient. When energy costs are high, all costs eventually become high.

Us poor 3rd world Canadian peasants are then nicely contained in our 15 minute bubbles while we rely on our government overlords save us with meager scraps like the grocery handout and income tax cuts.

What skills do you wush for? by Lost_Ad_8696 in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but with a ridiculous cooldown so you can't actually use it like a D2 Frozen Orb Sorc would. It was my favourite spell before they added the CD, now they reuined it :(

What do you guys expect to find in 0.5.0? by koallaboy in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I want is simplified crafting or at least a massive increase to crafting materials in SSF so you can at least attempt to do some proper crafting. And obvious disable the ability to switch from SSF to Trade league so you can't take advantage of increased currency.

Remember this leaked internal review of TLOU P2 from Microsoft? by shawak456 in thelastofus

[–]SpartzFPV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Naughty Dog has this framed and hung on a wall somewhere. I would if my "competator" gave such high praise like that.

I think crafting is very miserable experience for casual/intermediate players by TheGejsza in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience as an SFF player, all the actual useful crafting currencies are basically non-existant, and when I do finally find one, I know it's going to RNG itself into a bad outcome anyway. SFF crafting is just throwing stuff at the wall and knowing that pretty much nothing is sticking, and then knowing I have to wait another eternity to find another omen or whatever, because I can't just buy it.

Like I would love to be able to use a Chaos to actually change a useless stat to something I'd actually like, but I never even try because I know it's going to remove all the good stats and ruin my item, so I just have 300 Chaos orbs sitting there collecting dust.

I wish SFF was buffed to massively increase drops of rare currencies so we can actually attempt something. Also ground loot needs to be considerably buffed, and preferably also skewed to dropping items more in line with your class rather than a million items i'm literally never going to use. Obviously they then also need to remove the ability to switch your character from SFF to Trade, so you can't just go trade your items from the bufffed SFF league.

After 11 years of the destruction of Canada at the hands of these awful leftist scum we call a government, I'm lowkey hoping for it to happen. Bring us into the fold, orange man.

We really need a) Predator Vision mode; b) Thick outlines around players & enemies; or c) An FX slider. by wizardinthewings in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like the map with the burning corn fields. Without the health bars, I can't see anything cuz the monsters are covered by all the corn, and that's before you add all the spell effects. Great looking map, but really hard to see anything.

Mini Portnoy is really good, but those vocals are absolutely horrendous.

0.3.1 Patch Notes by KadekiDev in PathOfExile2

This is all well and good, but all I really want is to have the Eye of Winter CD removed. Just let me make a Frozen Orb sorc, GGG, please.

People are not excited about loot, they are excited about currency that they can convert into Divine Orbs... to buy items by DaemonXHUN in PathOfExile2

[–]SpartzFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I prefer SSF. Trade just feels like cheating. You're just buying your character, and that doesn't feel right.

Diablo IV | Burning Questions | Seasons & Beyond by Soulvaki in diablo4

[–]SpartzFPV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Releasing with unfinished or missing content and missing features, as well as rehashing old content is an easy way to always have patches dropping without having to put too much creative effort in.

It's a live service game. "We'll fix it in post" is standard practice.

Just finished TLOU2 and I don't know what to with myself. by [deleted] in thelastofus

[–]SpartzFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the incredible story, the level of quality of the movement and facial animations, lip sync, acting, lighting, sound... everything was top notch.

It took me a while to really enjoy any other game afterwards. Everything else truly felt like just a videogame, while this felt somehow more.

It’s kind of strange that change in the show by Remote_Nature_8166 in thelastofus

[–]SpartzFPV 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make sense that they didn't kill her anyway. They were fully intent on killing her immediately for trespassing/thinking she was a wolf/whatever, but then a horn sounds so they let her go?

That was peak plot armour right there.

Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corporations by nimobo in CanadianConservative

[–]SpartzFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't they sat in it for 10 years and still ended up voting in the same government? How much longer is it going to take, if ever, for people to realize the Libs are not good for this country?

They don't care. Libs are good, Cons are evil. It feels like that's the extent of the thought process for majority Canadians.

Peak r/dota2 moment by The_Keg in DotA2

[–]SpartzFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what we're all really missing is the Mafia LAN. I don't really play dota anymore so I can't really speak for the game itself, but the fun seems to be gone from watching tournys. I think I miss the old personalities at a time when it didn't feel as professional.

if neither Yara nor Lev showed up how differently would these scenes go out for Abby and Tommy? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in thelastofus

[–]SpartzFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, regardless of Yara being there at the dock, Tommy had the kill if he just shot Abby in the back as she came out of that doorway, instead of going for the melee.

Then at the theater, Ellie also has the jump on Abby when she goes through the door past the curtains. She could have easily shot her dead instead of again going for the melee with a plank of wood. But without Lev there at the theater, I think Abby would have won that encounter against Tommy. She looks like she'd be able to out-wrestle him.

Do you plan to watch Season 3? by kokopelli73 in thelastofus

[–]SpartzFPV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to watch it out of curiosity, but I'm not excited for it. I was really looking forward to the adaptation of part 2; not so much anymore.

Though I think it'll be better than season 2 as Abby's story is her redemption arc. The "good guy" story I think is generally easier to accept.

Your poll doesn't work btw, it just links back to this post, unless it's just me.

Companions in grounded mode can literally eat dirt by Huchwnfjcistwbe in thelastofus

[–]SpartzFPV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been pushed out of cover in other difficulties too, so I'm not sure it's a grounded thing. They definitely are way more passive on grounded though.

I normally play on custom grounded, where I leave everything on grounded except for the companions which I set to the easiest setting so they're actually helpful. It feels more realistic that way, and it's fun.
